Have they excommunicated Harry Reid yet?
(Of course, I know you to be kidding, right? :) )
Geron is right to have at least half an expectation -- given Harry Reid's liberal views alone.
Yet, Harry is a Mormon Church sanctioned "Visiting Home Teacher" and is lauded by people like Mormon Republican Senator Orrin Hatch...

Harry Reid: A Mormon in the middle
Here's two excerpts from that Salt Lake Trib article:
...Orrin Hatch, says it's not fair for fellow Mormons to disparage Reid as anything but a devout Mormon. Hatch says he didn't agree with Reid's statement on the gay marriage ballot question but said he's entitled to speak it. "I can personally tell you that Harry is a good member of the LDS faith and he was expressing a personal opinion that his side feels very deeply about," Hatch says...On Sunday, Reid, with his security escort in tow, likely made his home teaching rounds after his ward's three-hour service. Anyone who questions his Mormon credentials should see that, says Jim Vlach, his home-teaching companion. "He's got a tremendous burden with health care [reform] right now, but despite that, he finds time for home teaching," says Vlach.
If that isn't enough of a Mormon Church endorsement of Harry Reid as a diehard Mormon, consider that BYU invited Reid to be its campus-wide guest speaker almost seven years ago.
Why would the, Reid has received awards for being the example of what mormonS are.
